Handling Precautions
Installation precautions
When installing this unit, care should be given to the following points to prevent noise and
electromagnetic wave interference from other equipment.
1. Do not pass lead and connection cables through the same ducts as power lines.
2. Be sure to install the unit at least 0.5 m or more away from high voltage or large current
sources or high-power relays.
3. Absolutely do not bring the unit near magnets or sources of electromagnetic waves.
Installation place precautions
1. The scale unit should be used within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 45°C (113°F).
Avoid use in places exposed to direct sunlight or hot winds or near heating equipment.
2. Avoid use in places subject to strong vibrations or impacts.
3. If there is the chance that the scale unit may come into contact with cut or measured
objects, tools or jigs, be sure to protect the unit with a sufficiently strong cover.
Please note that improper usage and handling may not only prevent this unit from
functioning to its fullest potential, but may also cause unexpected breakdowns or
shorten the life of the unit.
Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully and take the greatest care in handling
the unit.
The precautions listed below are important for the proper handling of this product.
Therefore, be sure to comply with the items and explanations in this instruction manual
that advise caution.

Chapter 1Overview
1-1.Special Features
The SH11 Series uses a high precision interpolation circuit to achieve an insertion error
of 0.1 µm or less within a scale engraving pitch of 16 µm.
The output signal is a 5 V line driver, so it can be connected directly to a numerical
controller to provide position feedback.
Installation is easy for this unit-type scale. For scales with a measuring length of
520 mm (20.47 in) or more, use standard accessory support bracket A or B to increase
the rigidity at the intermediate position.
Wide Variation
Twenty measuring lengths are available in the range of 70 to 1,240 mm (2.76 to 48.82
in).
Choose the optimum scale length to match the required stroke.
High Precision
The scale precision is as follows.
• Measuring length70 to 620:± 2 µm
• Measuring length670 to 1240: ± 3 µm
Excellent Resistance to Working Environment
The detector component employs a large-area optical exchange device using Moiré
interference fringes. Employing our unique stable Moiré detection system, the effects of
dust can be minimized and reading errors reduced.
Durable Construction
The detector component employs sturdy, precision die-cast aluminum, making it
possible to obtain stable Moiré fringes. A bearing guide system enables maintenance
of ideal traveling conditions.
Minimum Wiring
Position detection signals are provided for only the following three pairs.
• Position signal.............. A phase, A phase, B phase, B phase
• Zero point signal .......... Z phase, Z phase
Each of these employs the noise-resistant line-driver method.
Simple Maintenance
The detector component is designed to be replaceable, so if a problem occurs, the
scanning unit can be speedily replaced and normal operation resumed.
3. A support bracket or brackets are required for scales with
a measuring length of 520 mm (20.47 in) or more.
4. A type or B type support brackets can be selected.
5. The zero point signal is output when the on the scale
is approximately aligned with the on the scanning unit.
6. If the scale is moved beyond its measuring length, it will
)
be damaged. Therefore, take steps to ensure that the
stroke of the machine ends 10 mm (0.394 in) or more to
the inside of both ends of the measuring length.
